Duties of Deacons (or other Quorum) Secretary's

[jonejam2]

Good Evening,
I was asked by my YM Secretary to provide some information on training the Aaronic Priesthood Quorum Secretary's. Specifically, I am looking for information on the Duties of a quorum secretary.

I have been through the handbooks etc... but have not found specific information on the duties. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The Handbook reference would be Handbook 2, Section 8.3.3.

Edited to remove incorrect information -

Is there any more detailed instructions routinely given to help these secretaries fulfill these duties?

Thanks for your reply.

The Handbook has much more than just a list of responsibilities. There is an excellent page on LDS.org in the Serving in the Church > Aaronic Priesthood section called Getting Started. It addresses several topics, such as the purpose of the Aaronic Priesthood, how councils work, and how quorums can function well.

These are all principles that are important for any leader to understand, and apply to the quorum presidency as well. Each of these principles is illustrated with multiple references to different sections in Handbook 2. That page is an excellent model for how you can draw on existing resources, particularly in the Handbook, to learn your duties in the priesthood.

A couple of other online resources are:

• There's a helpful video on LDS.org: Conducting Quorum Presidency Meeting.
• The Classic LDS.org has a page on Doctrine and Duties, which has a section for Quorum Presidencies.
